Abbreviations: SVI: social vulnerability index, RR: risk ratio, aRR: adjusted risk ratio, CI: confidence interval.

1

Model adjusted for: age, race and ethnicity, parity, trimester of pregnancy at baseline, chronic comorbidities, time from baseline to follow-up assessment, and pregnant at follow-up.

2

Unadjusted and adjusted risk ratios calculated using modified Poisson regression with robust error variance.

3

N = 290 in the unadjusted model and 288 in the adjusted model.

4

aRR per every one unit increase in SVI quartile.

5

Mean SVI (0 to 1) by quartile among individuals with follow-up data: <25%, 0.07; ≥25-49%, 0.27; ≥50-74%, 0.57; and ≥ 75–100%, 0.83.
